Nonholonomic source seeking in switching random fields
We consider the problem of designing controllers for nonholonomic mobile robots converging to the source (minimum) of a field. In addition to the mobility constraints posed by the ...

Modeling and controllability for a class of hybrid mechanical systems
Abstract-- This work studies a class of hybrid mechanical systems that locomote by switching between constraints defining different dynamic regimes. We develop a geometric framewor...

Optimal Control Using Nonholonomic Integrators
Abstract— This paper addresses the optimal control of nonholonomic systems through provably correct discretization of the system dynamics. The essence of the approach lies in the...

A Discrete Geometric Optimal Control Framework for Systems with Symmetries
— This paper studies the optimal motion control of mechanical systems through a discrete geometric approach. At the core of our formulation is a discrete Lagrange-d’AlembertPon...
